The first compiler, editor and the moving light behind this venture was Captain O M Watts, one of the youngest Merchant Navy officers ever to hold a Master's certificate, aged 23.

The publisher, Harold Brunton-Reed, and editor shook hands - as Watts described it, 'the only agreement we ever made'. The first edition was published on 1 January 1932 and cost 2/6 (two shillings and six pence, or 12.5 pence in today's money).Also available: free supplements of up-to-date navigation changes from January to June at: www.reedsnauticalalmanac.co.uk
